GPay Can tell root now??? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

FIX:
1. Add Google Services to Magisk Hide (if you're on Magisk 18.1 use "su magiskhide --add com.google.android.gms" in terminal)
2. Add Google Pay and Google Services Framework to Magisk Hide
3. Go to data/data and rename com.google.android.gms to com.google.android.gms.bak for example (or delete it altogether, but backing up seems safer)
Reboot and do whatever you like in GPay, it should work now. That's all I've done. I don't think you need to reinstall Magisk.

Long thread and a lot of moving parts, so work backwards on the thread. Personally, I am just waiting until a final and formal fix is found on stable Magisk and up to date Play apps.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...ssion-t3906703

My experience with this issue is I run GPay, go back to Magisk, safetynet fails on both.. So I force close Magisk, clear cache and data.. reboot. Open Magisk back up, Safetynet passes.. Gpay sets up fine. Sometimes you have to do this several times and it's a real pain but it's always worked for me..

this thread has info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/march-security-update-t3907281
this worked for me:
1. Disable Google Pay/Find My Device as Device Administrators in Settings > Security & location > Device Administrators.
2. Search "Google Play services" in the Settings search bar.
3. Press the three dots and press "Uninstall previous updates".
4. Download this update - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-99-release/
Pick your needed edition (arm or arm64, etc.), download it and install it.
5. Disable Background data access for Google Play Services and Google Play in their respective App Info pages.
6. Download Google Pay from the Play Store.
7. Set up your cards. Enjoy!

My way of fixing this issue is no longer working.. The second I start Gpay it breaks and detects root.. The link you gave for apkmirror .. I think it's missing info?

I know.. it's ridiculous, appreciate the clarification!

I have the same problem, Gpay detects root.
After I've gained root using extracted boot.img from January's update and Magisk, it's impossible to hide the root.
Natwest bank app won't let me use fingerprint because it detects root, even Zoho mail detect root.
I am going to unroot, install march's update, then re-root using the same method, and if still doesn't work I will try what you described "dipstik"
I will let you know once it's done.

I update this way:
Copy 18.1 Magisk to the phone.
Flash the factory image after editing out the -w so data is saved.
Boot to TWRP, but I do not install it.
Install the Magisk zip with TWRP.
That's it. I have never had a problem with GPay. I also have it hidden in Magisk, perhaps because I have always had it hidden I am ok.....dunno.

This workaround worked for me with magisk 18.2 Canary build.
GPS 14.8.49
Google pay 2.82.231680166
Make sure to hide Google play services and Google services framework in Magisk hide.

TonikJDK,
Have you added a card and actually used GPay at the terminal since this all started? I am in the same boat as you.
GPay is installed and opens fine on my wife's Pixel 3. Her device is running stock/rooted March rooted with 18.1 and has no TWRP. The only two things hidden are GPay and Play Store. The catch is that the card was already there. The new version of GPay showed up after clearing data/cache for Play Store and was loaded right after March install which decertified the design in Play Store forcing the data/cache clear. The card was always there. I have been hesitant to try loading a card or using this one at the terminal due to all of this.
My Pixel 3 XL also opens GPay fine, but like hers I have been hesitant to add a card or use it at the terminal. I am running dotOS (based on February), rooted with 18.1 with TWRP 3.2.3-3 fully installed. Same two relevant aps hidden, but in my case I didn't have to do anything to get the new version of GPay to show up since I didn't install March.

My cards were already in there before anyone started having all these problems and before the March update.. I use it all the time, it has never failed to work. I used it yesterday several times.

Thanks. That gives me some comfort in using the already loaded cards at least. I am not planning on loading any new cards or having to start from scratch any time soon. Seems like an already working GPay with a previously loaded card is OK.

It depends. My Gpay was opening fine and cards were loaded but payments didn't work, was getting error message that said I can't use payments because phone is rooted or altered in some other way.

Sadly this method only works for a limited time.
Overnight GPS updates to version 15 by its own self and GP stops working.
I'm not sure I'm ready to to this procedure daily just for Google pay. For the time being I'll use my card until Magisk developer finds solution to this problem.

Well, I jinxed it a few posts back saying I was ok. It just told me no more when I used it.

yeah nothing worked for me even when I uninstalled magisk and tried the steps above on stock. Ended up factory resetting. but thats the last move to do

Google Pay is a real asshole and doesn't let you know something is wrong until you actually tap to pay.

Google pay not working with magisk?

Hey guys just updated to the latest magisk manager and magisk root on my pixel a few days ago but i just noticed that my Google pay had removed my bank card. Checked magisk manager and went into the magisk hide list and nothing was checked so i manually checked necessary apps including Google pay. Now even after that and after a reboot and clearing data of Google pay AND despite magisk passing a safetynet check Google pay still refuses to accept my bank card. Should i roll back to an earlier version when it was working? Is there something broken in the lastest magisk manager?
Thanks in advanced.
February security update
Magisk manager 7.0
Magisk 18.1

Thanks so much for confirming must be a problem on my end. I've been getting random freezes at night which had me waking up with no alarm. Guess it's time for a clean install because obviously something went wrong on my end. Thanks again G.
Yeah....there's a (good) chance that it's just as what happened with @acheney1990 and me...
you can read all about it HERE, but suffice it to say; it can easily be on the banking's end "flagging" with all the validation that's needed -- which is it's own headache trying to understand why they keep tripping it up this way....
Hey did you ever happen to get a solution on this? I seem to have run into the same problem because everything is setup the same as before, but since I've upgraded to Pie in Feb security, I can't use Google Pay (unable to pay in store), Zelle, or the Chase app (force closes immediately, apparently on checking my GPS location it seems).
My problem started when I updated my Moto x4 to latest Pie update 29.69-26-5. I was on Magisk 18.1, and Manager 7.0 which I had to uninstall to get the update. After reinstalling Magisk, Passing safety net, I get a message at the POS saying my phone won't work with Google Pay. My debit card (Chase) is still listed in Google pay on my phone but when I try to add another card I get "This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way"
if I clear the storage and uninstall and re-install Google Pay, it still has my debit card listed, so for whatever reason, it's keeping my payment info even though I cleared the storage.
ongoing issue over on the Magisk Forum. An update to Google Play Services isn't working nicely with Magisk.

Hmmmm...if this is the case, wouldn't "removing updates" and installing an older/stable version (from apkmirror.com or something) and keeping it from updating be a workaround, for now....?

That is exactly what has been suggested and even outlined here and there. I tried a couple different scenarios but it became too cumbersome trying to juggle it all. I'll just wait for an update to be released. Lol

Safety net passes but Google pay doesn't work?

Hey guys. So I have the latest magisk beta v19 and latest magisk manager. My safety net is passing but Google pay doesn't work. Did the new March update make it detect unlocked bootloader? My bootloader is unlocked with TWRP installed. Has anyone tested with and without TWRP installed?

Works for me but I had to make sure to hide the needed apps in MagiskHide (GPay, G Play Services, Framework) and even then, it required me to clear data in Pay, Services > then reboot > then proceed to add a card.
Also check to make sure that auto updates are not on for Google Pay. I think the version matters. My version is currently 2.84.237487748.

Great, I will say its hit or miss sometimes. Mine worked in stores for a few days, then stopped saying I was rooted so I had to redo the method to get it back.
This is the fix
Magisk stable build, all latest official builds of everything else, nothing special. and Magisk hide on google play store, google play services and google pay then - Renaming com.google.android.gms to com.google.android.gms.bak (found in Data/Data) in root browser and then rebooting is the answer .

Keep Play Certification with Unlocked Bootloader?

I had to completely wipe my phone since recently the battery life started tanking hard, and I couldn't figure out why. I decided to just start over from a clean slate, since I had the same configuration since I got the phone about a year or two ago (stock Android 9, unlocked, and rooted with Magisk and EdXposed).
I figured that I would flash the July image without wipe first, but the battery issue persisted. I then decided to just flash it with the wipe (after backing up data, of course), and the battery seemed to be a bit better while I was setting up.
The problem I'm now having is that my device seems to be missing Play Certification. I noticed this when I was unable to install Netflix from the Play Store (although Google Pay seemed to work fine?). I've tried flashing the image several times, and even tried older images, but I can't seem to keep Play Certification.
I tried locking the bootloader after flashing the July image, and that finally gave me Play Certification and I was able to download Netflix.
Obviously however, I need to keep an unlocked bootloader for other things too.
Is there any way to get Netflix (and Play Certification) to work with an unlocked bootloader?
Doesn't MagiskHide provide just what you're asking for? If you don't want to use Magisk, maybe try PeNoire's SafetyNet Spoofer which works without Magisk but still requires a custom recovery like TWRP.

How would I get MagiskHide to work with Netflix without being able to install the app from the Play Store? Would enabling hide for the PS work, or do I need to sideload the app and then use Hide on the app?

Netflix doesn't care about the existence of Magisk once it is already installed on your device. So don't get confused there. You're problem is with the Play Store, specifically with SafetyNet. One step at a time;
When you unlock your bootloader, you are going to fail some SafetyNet checks. This will result in a restricted Play Store, meaning, certain apps won't be visible to you. To circumvent that, you flash something like Magisk or PetNoire to hide your bootloaders state to SafetyNet checks. This will result in an unrestricted Play Store. Unlock, install Magisk or PetNoire and then you should be able to get unrestricted access to Play Store apps.
Unlock the bootloader of your device
Install the latest version of Magisk
MagiskHide should be enabled by default, if not:
Download and install PetNoir's SafetyNet Spoofer

I've tried this, but something seems to not be working, or I'm doing something wrong.
I have Magisk 19.3 installed, and I can see that MagiskHide was automatically enabled for ”com.google.android.gms.unstable" under Google Play services, but Play Store Certification still shows that my device isn't certified, and Netflix won't appear.
The SafetyNet check in MagiskManager passes, however, so I'm wondering if there's something else going on. I'm going to try the other suggested SafetyNet bypass.
EDIT: Installed the other Spoofer, and the Certification listing in the Play Store disappeared, but Netflix is still nowhere to be seen. I tried uninstalling all updates for the Store and clearing storage and cache, but still nothing.
Wondering if I should just sideload Netflix and see if it works fine.
EDIT2: After a few moments, the Play Store now says that my device is certified, but I'm still unable to find Netflix in the Store for some reason. Tried rebooting and clearing cache but still nothing.

I'v been been having the same issue for about 5-6 months now with both Android 9 and 10. It was working fine on Pie and showing up in Google Play, but then after I flashed one of the monthly system images with a wipe, the app no longer showed up in the play store. And after I restored the most recent Netflix app at the time from a backup, it would constantly crash. I have all Google Play Services, Google Play and Netflix selected in Magisk hide. Google Play says my device is certified. Magisk SafetyNet test passes along with any SafetyNet test app. Logged out of my Google account, wiped data for Google Play, Google Play services and Netflix, rebooted and signed back in but still not showing up. Downloaded and installed the newest Netflix app from their site but I get an error stating the device is not supported with the app which clearly isn't the case.
Can you select this link and have it open in the Google Play app on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient&hl=en_US
It shows up for me but says in red font: "This app isn't compatible with your device anymore. Contact the developers for more info". Which I did...went back and forth with Google and Netflix for hours yesterday, but both of their support is completely useless.
The newest version of the app that works for me is version 6.26.1. You can download it here if you haven't already: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-6-26-1-build-15-31696-release/
The only thing is how long is it going to continue to work. A future update will most likely break that version as well.
Have you made any progress since July?

That's actually the exact same version of Netflix that I was able to get working, and I've been using it since July.
It works exactly as it should, but the resolution seems to be capped at 480p or 720p, as I notice a lot of blurriness. It's still usable, but I'm considering getting rid of Magisk and going to 10 to avoid these issues.
Reading on what you've done, it's exactly what I went through in July.
I'm not sure what's changed since prior to updating to another security patch, Netflix was working completely fine from the Play Store with Magisk.

Yeah and also after a few minutes of watching a video, the screen dims like right before your phone auto-locks itself due to inactivity. So far the only way I was able to get it to show back up in Google Play was re-locking the bootloader, but that's not really an option for me since I want to stay rooted. But it really doesn't make any sense since all the SafetyNet compatibility tests pass and the device is certified. Maybe I'll try reaching out to the Magisk dev and see if he's willing to take a look into it.

But it really doesn't make any sense since all the SafetyNet compatibility tests pass and the device is certified. Maybe I'll try reaching out to the Magisk dev and see if he's willing to take a look into it.

I don't seem to have that screen dimming issue, so it's possible that something else is going on on your end for that.
It's possible that Netflix is able to detect root through some other way that's irrelevant to Google Play Protection. And it could also be a thing where the resolution is limited if you're not on the latest version.
If I do figure something out in the future, I'll be sure to post here again.

I don't think the issue is because of being rooted, but instead the unlocked bootloader as it still doesn't show up after uninstalling Magisk or after a system image flash with wipe. Like I mentioned earlier, the only way I can get it to show in Google Play or have the newest version work when side loaded at this point is when the bootloader is locked. So if you don't mind not being rooted or being able to manually flash updates without a factory reset each time, just re-lock your bootloader (just remember to backup your data since it wipes your phone) and Netflix should work normally again.
But I'll be sure post here as well if I come across anything that works.
What you both need is to install/flash a custom kernel...
On top of many multiple things a custom kernel can do, one significant thing is to be able to mask root on many/most root detecting processes. When I first rooted 2 years ago, I couldn't get Google Pay to work because of the root detecting. I had inadvertently flashed a custom kernel, and was pleasantly surprised that Google Pay began to work (back then, but now more than a custom kernel is required).
The best general all-around custom kernel was called Flash, but that became EOL and stopped development, but one called Caesium was built based off of Flash and continued from there; even collaborated with the maker of Flash.
Give it a try, and see how it works wonders for both your issue (root detection) battery life, and even responsiveness of the system!
Hope this helps...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll make sure to try this after updating to the latest Pie build. I'm sure that this will work, as I remember using a custom kernel last time that Netflix was working just fine for me.
I also just found a thread with a stock kernel infused with a SafetyNet patch that says that Netflix and other apps refused to work on unlocked bootloader devices because something trips in SafetyNet, leading me to believe that this is what me and @giants8058 have been experiencing.
I will let everyone know if this works later this week.

You have to flash a custom Kernel to hide bootloader unlock. After you flash the custom kernel the play store will still show as not being certified. You will have to force stop the play store then delete the cache and storage. When you reboot it will show that it is certified.

I flash the August stock build along with the Sultan kernel (as I couldn't get Caesium or the SafetyNet patched kernel to flash), and followed your instructions, but my Play Store isn't showing my device as certified yet.
Is there something else I need to do?

1. Download TWRP 3.3.0 img file
2. Download TWRP 3.3.0 zip file (optional)
3. Download Magisk 19.3
4. Download kernel of choice. (I use Sultan)
5. Boot to fastboot
6. Boot to TWRP. (fastboot boot TWRP. Img) I shorten the file name to make it easier.
7. Flash kernel first if using Sultan
8. Flash TWRP zip. (optional)
9. Flash Magisk 19.3
10. Let phone boot then delete data/cache in play store.
11. Reboot phone
These are the steps I use. If I remember correctly there was a couple of versions of the play store that showed uncertified no matter what. The latest play store version is 16.5.15. I can confirm it works. I also hide Google Play services in Magisk hide but I don't think that's needed unless you want Google Pay to work.

Those steps are actually exactly what I did, but the certification label in the settings is missing, and Netflix won't appear.
If it means anything, I noticed that I actually had Sultan kernel installed before doing any of this, so it might be that the kernel isn't working on my end.

Well...I can say, at least, that I am having the same experience as murphyjasonc and am able to get "Play Protect Certification" certified and I have an unlocked bootloader with root and even a custom recovery.
I would make sure you do as he suggests and at the very least disable or "uninstall updates" for the Play Store and Google Play Services. But, also, custom kernels are things that also need to be updated; so this might be the explanation on it no longer working. But I know you had recently reflashed Sultan, so it is rather puzzling that you are still having those issues.
Just making sure, you are using TWRP to install the latest version of those kernels, correct? Also, when you had ran the August patch, did you use the Full Factory version? Are you able to pass safetynet currently?
Hopefully retrying these will get things up and running...

I used the latest version of TWRP to install the August OTA patch, as well as to install the latest Sultan kernel.
I just ran a SafetyNet test in MagiskManager and it passed correctly.

Give this a try...
instead of the OTA, try the Full Factory version -- and be sure to remove the "-w" in the flash-all to keep your data intact -- and then, also, be sure to disable/"uninstall updates" for both the Google Play Store and the Google Play Services (you can enable it after disabling it of course). After that, boot up TWRP and flash the Sultan kernel and Magisk and see if you don't have the certification after all that.
If you don't know; you can't simply run the Full Factory .zip's in TWRP, so if you don't know how to do a Full Factory version, I can point you in the right direction...
Good luck!

Question Unable to install Netflix after rooting

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.
Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

still getting "App Not Installed" error, when I try to install the APK.
I tried installing the "liboemcrypto disabler " as suggested a few messages back, and also doesn't seem to make any difference.

I just did after reading this.
It's not showing up in Google Play store.
It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I'm thinking maybe I'll need to un-root my phone, update Netflix, see if it runs without root, if it works, then try to root again and figure how to go from there.

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

There are sai versions floating around here that work search xda also make sure you magisk hide Netflix before you open it initially. Or hide them clear cache and data on netflix

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
I can always use One+ Switch App to see if that is better.

Question C.48, April Security Update and SafetyNet

Since updating to C.48 (2125 [phone], coming from C.47, my Google Play and Pay have stopped working on my rooted phone (Magisk 24.3), even though it passes SafetyNet with YASNAC. When I try to open Play I get a "Try Again" screen. When I try to open Pay, I get "Google Pay is updating right now...". I've got Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.2.1 and MagiskHide Props Config installed, and Play and Pay in the Deny List. Tried using Shamiko 0.4.4 (while disabling deny) with no better results. Cleared cache and data on both apps multiple times. Uninstalled Magisk and unrooted, and everything worked again. Re-rooted w/o opening either app, put them both into "deny" and, for a brief time, both worked -- but eventually (without my doing anything that I could tell), they both reverted to the behavior described above.
I'm wondering if this behavior has anything to do with the April security update included in C.48? Because it's really odd that I YASNAC still shows safetynet as having passed. More likely, it's user error on my part, but has anyone else run into this yet on C.48?
I have a LE2127 running your firmware and I don't notice issues. One thing you could try is just flashing the update zip over your current OS using the OPlocalupdate apk here https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk
Thanks. I presume you're rooted? Which version of Magisk are you using and are you using Deny List or Shamiko?

Yes, I'm rooted. I'm using Denylist on Magisk 24.3.
No problems on my end with Gpay while rooted
I gave up and did a total restore with MSM and then made sure to root and fill up the Deny List (and add SafetyNet Fix) before opening up Google Pay or Play. That seemed to work. Not sure how I messed it up in the first place, but I think it was in upgrading from C47 to C48 and my sequencing of unrooting, upgrading, clearing storage in the apps and re-rooting. Thanks all.
